BRAZOS VALLEY ART LEAGUE

February 2007 Newsletter

 The 2007 Year has gotten off to a great start. We have a wonderful show still hanging in the Texas Gallery. See the Winners listed elsewhere in the Newsletter.  We have some great artists in our league!   

We are currently making plans for a trip to the Museum of Fine Art Houston to view the The Masterpieces of French Painting from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Watch for more information on this trip in the very near future. 

I have sent out Scholarship Applications to 19 Brazos Valley High Schools.  If you know of a talented young person interested in the arts, please encourage them to apply.  We give two $1,000.00 Scholarships. 

Our Committee for the Summer Program for Children is moving forward with great plans for Classes in June. Barbara Gholson is heading up this great program and will be happy to hear from anyone who is interested in teaching or being an assistant. This is all a new venture and hopefully it will be a great success and lead to greater plans in the future.
